As a Stoic philosopher, he emphasized virtue, resilience, and acceptance of the natural order, which is reflected in his famous work “Meditations.” His philosophical rule as emperor is considered to be in line with Plato’s idea of a Philosopher King, and his teachings on self-discipline and virtue guided others during troubled times. Marcus Aurelius left behind not only a philosophical legacy but also architectural works that celebrated his military victories and philosophical rule. His influence on literature and his enduring legacy have continued to inspire leadership and personal development long after his time.
